The Halcyon Galactic Cruiser
Built nearly three centuries ago on Corellia, in the same shipyards that produced the legendary Millennium Falcon, the one piloted by Han Solo and Chewbacca, in this story the Halcyon has been restored by the “galactic” company Chandrila Star Line and will make a trip to the remote destination of Batuu, where passengers will be able to disembark on the second day and will also continue their stories.
Star Wars fans will surely recognize this ship, which among others is the protagonist of the five-comic miniseries Star Wars: Halcyon Legacyin which the different incarnations it has had and its different uses are recounted.
Food and accommodation
The Halcyon has 100 staterooms, starting at around $1,200 a night per person, designed in the style of the galactic saga and with “views” of space that continually change during the voyage. The rooms have bunk beds for the little ones and a screen on which the android D3-09 is available, which works based on Artificial Intelligence.
Guests at the Halcyon have a menu of unexpected yet familiar flavors on hand, including blue shrimp dishes “from the jungles of Feluccia” and cocktails like the citrusy Hutt Ice Breakers or a blue cabernet from the planet Alderan.
All this served mainly in the Corellia Crown dining room, where the galactic star Gaya performs every night.
lightsabers and hyperspace
Guests have the opportunity to train with the iconic lightsabers, developed with great credibility, as you can see Eff, and “discovering your own connection to the force”, in which it is one of the main attractions of the cruise.
So is the bridge or control room, where passengers learn how to operate their weapons and shields, amid panoramic views of space that allow them to experience the famous hyperspace jumps first-hand.
Characters
It wouldn’t be a Star Wars experience without some of its most famous characters, like the Wookiee Chewbacca, Kylo Ren, the supreme leader of the First Order, and Rey, the hero of the Resistance.
In addition to them there are other “secondaries” such as Captain Riyola Keevan, First Order Lieutenant Harman Croy, Lieutenant Sammie and the characteristic Stormtrooper soldiers, with their white uniform and their laser beam rifles. (I)
